Pros

Very fast paced development cycles. Small teams hence each member has good responsibilities and ownership of project. Small sprints of design, implementation, test and deploy.

Cons

Very less interaction between team members about the project and also across teams. Work life balance not so good.

Pros

Great pay and great compensation package. Wonderful healthcare provided. Great exposure to process improvements. Opportunity to participate in kaizen events.

Cons

Poor work life balance. Does not invest enough time in the development and training of workforce. Lots of development needed in establishing standard work, and general procedures. Improvement needed in establishing better safety training and practices. Managers often are limited in time to engage with associates.

Pros

Looks great on your resume. :-) Once you're in, there are multiple opportunities to move around, learn new skills, and you can really create your own path up to a point. Beautiful campus, beautiful city (Seattle).

Cons

Terrible life-work balance. Everyone works so much overtime. If you don't do it too, it makes you look bad. The annual compensation review process at Amazon is one of the most tortuous I've ever experienced. No revenue-based performance bonuses, even when the company is having a stellar year.
